La Cucina Italiana is opening evenings now, from 5 pm to 9:30 pm Tuesday through Saturday. That’s still pretty early but at least they’re not a lunch-only spot anymore because we need a good Italian place downtown (or at least, I hope it’s good!) and that corner needs some nightlife. Plus I need somewhere to practice my Italian. 1410 Jefferson St. Tel# is 452-2533. E-mail: ninousnino@aol.com. Ciao.
